The best solar panels to date are able to convert around 20 percent of sunbeam’s energy into electricity. Which is a massive improvement considering they could only convert 13 percent about ten years ...

Rust is often associated with decay and disrepair, but scientists at Caltech and Northwestern University are looking at rust differently: as a means of generating electricity. Rust, after all, is ...

It's not unusual to find rust around salt water, but now the pairing might actually be useful. Researchers at Caltech and Northwestern University have found that electricity can be produced when salt ...

Rust is a common problem on bridges, cars, and other metal structures, but new research shows that when it’s combined with saltwater, it can also be a source of electricity. New research conducted by ...

Researchers have shown that iron oxide layers can convert kinetic energy of saltwater into electrical power. There are many ways to generate electricity -- batteries ...
